It was a normal Friday in March except for the fact that I got my license. So my friends and I thought about what we were going to do now that I have my license. Well, we cruised around town thinking we were hot stuff and that we were better that most kids in school since I had my license before many of my friends. We decided that we'd go off-roading since I had the huge truck. It was a hunter green 1979 Ford F-250 Custom. It had huge 33-inch tires, a loud crackling exhaust, and a unique 2-inch thick oak plank flatbed. It really was a beast.

We piled into the cab of the truck and started it and drove to my house, only a mile away. We hopped out of the truck and walked into my house. Chris and Sise waited downstairs and told my mother that we were going to Sise's house for a friendly game of Night Capture the Flag. So I got dressed into some green army camouflage given to me by my uncle. I put on my black Nike hi-tops and rumbled down the stairs. I started to walk through the living room and my mom called me over as Sise and Chris walked outside. She said to me she didn't want any mischief going on and I assured her that everything was cool. She said goodnight and told me to be safe. All three of us then pranced through the yard over to the beast. We then drove off to get gas and then head for our attack. We pulled into the 7-11. I pumped the gas while Chris prepped the gun and Sise ran inside to pay and to get our favorite beverage until we were 18, Zimmerman's Iced Tea. This tea had something in it that we all liked. It tasted like no other tea around. Rumor has it that the workers spit their tobacco juices into it. By the time I finished pumping, Chris had the gun ready for the assault. We mumbled about how we planned this so well that we concluded that nothing could go wrong. We journeyed across town to our destination, Shannon's house.

My day was going well. I devoured a big breakfast, my brother, for once, got out of the shower quick, and no major assignment was pending. Life was very, very good. Then life began to fall into oblivion. I saw on the board in the front of Mrs. Smith's room the journal entry for the day. It was about what would I write about in a narrative essay. Hope faded away. Somewhere on the planet a nuclear

From Boy to Man: The Searchers Through the Eyes of Martin Pawley
The narrative structure of John Ford’s The Searchers is centered primarily around the actions and knowledge of men. Throughout the movie, men are the figures of action, they are out scouring the land for lost loved ones while the women stay home and wait with hope. In The Searchers, just as with any search, the limiting factor involved is knowledge. Ethan, the main character, begins the movie as the leader of the searchers. His assumed
